FBI's fraudulent letter sent to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

FBI’s fraudulent letter sent to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

When the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech before huge crowds on the National Mall in August 1963, the FBI took notice. “We must mark him now, if we have not done so before, as the most dangerous Negro of the future in this Nation from the standpoint of communism, the Negro and national security,” FBI Domestic Intelligence Chief William Sullivan wrote in a memo…

“Although this summer has seen remarkable progress in translating civil rights from principles into practices, we have a very long way yet to travel.”

JFK’s proposed statement on the March on Washington, August 18, 1963.

Collection JFK-3: Papers of John F. Kennedy: Presidential Papers: President's Office Files

Series: Subject Files

File Unit: Civil rights: March on Washington, 28 August 1963

Transcription:

MARCH IN WASHINGTON

AUG 18, 1965

Proposed Statement

We have witnessed today in Washington and tens of thousands of Americans -- both Negro and white -- exercising their right to assemble peaceably and direct the widest possible attention to a great national issue. Efforts to secure equal treatment and equal opportunity for all without regard to race, color, creed or nationality are neither novel nor difficult to understand. What is different today is the intensified and widespread public awareness of the need to move forward in achieving these objectives -- objectives which are older than this nation.

Although this summer has seen remarkable progress in translating civil rights from principles into practices, we have a very long way yet to travel. One cannot help but be impressed with the deep fervor and the quiet dignity that characterizes the thousands who have gathered in the Nation's Capital from across the country to demonstrate their

faith and confidence in our democratic form of government. History has seen many demonstrations - - of widely varying character and for a whole host of reasons. As our thoughts travel to other demonstrations that have occurred in different parts of the world, this Nation can properly be proud of the demonstration that has occurred here today. The leaders of the organizations sponsoring the March and all who have participated in it deserve our appreciation for the detailed preparations that made it possible and for the orderly manner in which it has been conducted.

The Executive Branch of the Federal Government will continue its efforts to obtain increased employment and to eliminate dicrimina-tion in employment practices, two of the prime goals of the March. In addition, our efforts to secure enactment of the legislative proposals made to the Congress will be maintained, including not only the Civil

Rights Bill, but also proposals to broaden and strengthen the Manpower Development and Training Program, the Youth Employment Bill, amendments to the vocational education program, the establishment of a work-study program for high school age youth, strengthening of the adult basic education provisions in the Administrations education program and the amendments proposed to the public welfare work-relief and training programs. This nation can afford to achieve the goals of a full employment policy --it cannot afford to achieve the goals of a full employment policy --it cannot afford to permit the potential skills and educational capacity of its citizens to be unrealized.

The cause of 20 million Negroes has been advanced by the program conducted so appropriately before the Nation's shrine to the Great Emancipator, but even more significant is the contribution to all mankind.

"There is a lot of what I’d call ‘Liverpoolness,’ which is in the way you’d say certain things. I mean, I have difficulty pronouncing certain words without the Liverpool accent. There’s always at least one or two words in every song lyric that gives it away that I’m from Liverpool... Things like ‘hur’ and ‘curr’ - if I say, 'her hur was blonde.’” - George Harrison, WNEW-FM, 1987 (x)

SYD SHORES War Criminals, August 1963

Sydney Shores (1916 – June 3, 1973) was an American comic book artist known for his work on Captain America both during the 1940s, in what fans and historians call the Golden Age of comic books, and during the 1960s Silver Age of comic books.

Syd Shores began drawing in childhood, fascinated by the comic-strip art of Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon and Hal Foster's Prince Valiant. He went to graduate from Brooklyn's Pratt Institute, where he had met his wife-to-be, Selma. After working seven years at his uncle's whiskey bottling plant until it closed in 1940, he became an assistant at the studio of Selma's cousin, the comic book packager Harry "A" Chesler, working under comics artists Mac Raboy and Phil Sturm. "For months I was just a joe-boy, watching and learning and helping wherever I could. I studied Mac Raboy for hours on end — he was slow and meticulous about everything, doing maybe only a single panel of artwork a day, but it was truly beautiful work. After four months I tried my own hand at work, doing a seven-page piece called 'The Terror'. I was proud of it then, of course, but in looking back it really was a terror!"

"The Terror" still held enough promise that it saw print in Mystic Comics #5 (March 1941) from Timely Comics, the 1940s precursor of Marvel Comics, and went on to make other appearances. Timely editor Joe Simon hired Shores as the fledgling company's third employee.
